Solution Description

Challenge

Within many Microsoft environments IT organizations are struggling with the proliferation of Microsoft applications across physical silos of server infrastructure and direct-attached storage (DAS). Along with increasing workload, data, and management complexity, these challenges result in increasing costs and inefficiencies.

Organizations can consolidate production, test, and development servers, enabling higher server and storage utilization and optimized performance and cost savings. EMC and VMware solutions also greatly enhance the ability to scale production server and storage resources for Microsoft environments while improving overall system availability and service levels.

Organizations can accelerate consolidation and virtualization with VCE Vblock infrastructure platforms. Vblock offers preconfigured, integrated solutions to virtualize the Microsoft environment, enabling companies to gain speed and ease in responding to new business needs and changes to their requirements.

EMC fully automated storage tiering for virtual pools (FAST VP) enables IT to lower costs by prioritizing Microsoft workloads to the appropriate storage tiers. Combining EMC Replication Manager and VMware virtual machine (VM) templates enable IT to rapidly deploy and configure both server and storage resources for new Microsoft environment in just minutes.

Using EMC technologies for virtualizing Microsoft environments on VMware creates management efficiencies. EMC has the most storage integrations with VMware.

EMC and VMware share a unique partnership and vision: the journey to your cloud. Through joint product development, solutions, and services, EMC is the number one choice for VMware customers for storage, backup, security, and management solutions.
